Hi, I love GoW! It's a hell of a game! One of the best games ever... I havn't played Halo yet, so I can't say something about it... But I havn't played GoW for a long time like most of the others who started to play it since it came out, I'm afraid GoW will lose a lot of "people online" when Halo 3 comes out... What do you think? What about you?

The ask: Do you think you are going to stop playing GoW when Halo 3 comes out? Or will you continue play it like you do today?

Halo 2 has way more variety then Gears so I can only imagine how much Halo 3 will have over Gears. Halo 3 for the win.

idk, i think Halo is gaining too much attention and when that happens usually it falls flat on its face, i hope this doesnt happen since Halo is a cool game but i cant stand all the craze for it.

i prefer halo. if you haven't played halo yet pick up a cheap used copy of 1 or 2. if you want multiplayer pick up 2, halo1 came out before xbox live so there is no live for halo1. i prefered halo1 for the campaign.

After I beat GeoW a couple of times, I was done with it. I traded it in a long time ago. I didn't care for the multiplayer either. It was just a shotgun fest. Halo 3, however, will keep me playing for ages. Much like Halo CE and Halo 2.

I put Gears down a long time ago and am still playing Halo 2. So, yes, I'll play Halo 3 instead of Gears come September. However, whether or not I play it over Bioshock remains to be seen.

Oh, and I now have 1,000 posts. Whee.

Disagreed. GOW will be very popular even after Halo comes out. Halo looks good but the graphics on GOW are amazing the gore the weapons and the levels. Granted im excited about Halo 3 but Gears 2 will come also and be bosom buddies with this giant game.

Don't get me wrong Gears is a good game but it's no Halo. The Halo games have ton more of everything. AndI haven't played gears in months.

I cant beleive how many people dislike GOW and like Halo3. Halo is okay but i think a "shotgun fest" is way better. I especially like playing online and taking heads off and tearing other players apart with a shotgun when in Halo you bleed while there is not a mark on Mc's entire body. I do like the fact that in Halo 3 online you can customize your armour.

Halo 3 will be great, but there is just nothing like getting a headshot in gears.

I don't like Halo at all... I think it's way to overrated. But I understand that a lot of people like it, just different taste. But for me, I will continue play Gears of War, and I will skip Halo 3 (or just play a little) and waaiittt for Gears of War 2 Ohhh Can't wait ;) GoW For me!!!

There just is so much more to the Halo series than Gears. Don't get me wrong, I really like Gears, but Halo 3 has 4 player co-op as opposed to 2, vehicles, 8v8 MP as opposed to 4v4, many more MP game types, many more weapons/gadgets, much more balanced MP gameplay, much larger SP battles (Bungie claims epic battles with dozens and dozens of enemies at once on very large environments, while Gears only has about 6enemies on screen at once with very narrow, linear environments), very robust MP stat keeping with awards/medals, saved film feature, much larger MP maps,online party system and better online matchmaking service, and a much more fleshed out SP story with much smarter enemy AI.

So, while a really like Gears and its small environments do allow for more detailed graphics, IMO it still has a ways to go to offer all that the Halo series does.

Yea that also because Halo 3 is newer than GoW too. If we "compare" halo 3 with upcoming GoW 2... What do you think about that? Okay, the future will show us :)

I just called a 1-800 fortune teller i saw on TV and asked, apparently i will play GOW just as much and should expect a promotion. Unlike you guys i don't have a copy of Halo 3 yet, so i can't answer for sure, but boy i can't wait for that promotion!
